Metal screamed, fuel burned, and LaGuardia\u2019s runway became a war zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Air Canada Jazz Flight 8646 collided with a fire truck on LaGuardia\u2019s Runway 4, it should have been the kind of impact no one walks away from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cockpit was destroyed, killing both pilots instantly and injuring dozens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid the chaos, veteran flight attendant Solange Tremblay\u2019s jump seat tore free and was blasted more than 100 meters from the aircraft, with her still strapped in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rescuers found her alone on the tarmac, broken but breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her daughter, Sarah, calls it nothing less than a miracle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surgeons worked to repair multiple fractures, including a shattered leg, while investigators struggled to understand how anyone in that part of the plane could survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts point to the heavily reinforced jump seat, designed to endure extreme crash forces so crew can lead evacuations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
